Food Waste in the U.S.

Phel Meyer (’13) analyzes the issue of food waste in the United States with author of American Wasteland, Jonathan Bloom.

“Given last summer’s heat wave and the food shortages and price increases we can expect as a consequence, I would think that food waste reduction would be as important as ever. I recently spoke with Bloom to get his sense for what had changed since he wrote the book, and perhaps not surprisingly, his message was clear: not much.”
